Load Balancing Method: Port Based
The port-based load-balancing method is an explicit port
assignment scheme. Each port that does not belong to a particular
trunk must be assigned to a port in that trunk. When the switch
receives a packet with a DA that is associated with a trunk , it will
automatically forward the packet to the trunk port that the
receiving port has been assigned to.
